Was the car factory tune? 93 octane gas? Automatic or manual? No disrespect intended, just trying to understand.

I've seen it written here that the auto will be quicker but I don't see the transmission specified on these reports. Based on the power to weight ratio, I don't see how it can be 11.2 based on what factory or heavily modified 500s and ZL1s have run.

Lingenfelter ran 10.794 @ 134.36 MPH on April 18 2012 with a ZL1 making 722 hp and 651 lbs-ft at the wheels with drag radials and 109 octane racing fuel.

So how does a manual Hellcat weighing 280 lbs more run as fast with skinner tires and less power?
